‘Scrumptious®’ Apple Tree

‘Scrumptious®’ Apple Tree

• Scrumptious – it does what it says on the tin! Sweet (but not sugary) with a complex mix of aromatic background flavours, the creamy white, crunchy flesh and thinner than average skin make this a highly sought-after apple.
• One of the best modern apples bred by Hugh Ermen in the 1980s, ‘Scrumptious’ has held the RHS Award of Garden Merit ever since.
• Ideal for beginners, with reliable cropping and excellent pest and disease resistance. Grows happily in open ground or in a pot.
• Our growers recommend Scrumptious for even colder areas of the UK, as the blossom has good frost resistance.
• The tree itself has a slightly arching form and scented white blossom, making it an attractive feature all year round. 
• ‘Scrumptious’ produces apples slightly earlier in the season (late August – September) that can stay on the tree in perfect condition for two weeks, so you don’t have to pick them all at once! 
• The sunnier the planting position, the redder the apples will be.
• M26 Rootstock – Max size H3m x W3m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
• Self fertile – will produce good crops without pollination
• Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
• Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
